Minis were used, they were the mecha fighters (can't remember the
official
name/code) that Nic at Eureka sells (I'm guessing GZG does too).
Basically
they look like mecha in standing mode and are about the same size or
slightly larger than standard GZG FT heavy fighters. I don't have any
pictures but their general stance is something like (excuse the ascii
art):
     ___
     |	  |		<- 'head'
----------------
|  |	     |	|
|  |	     |	|     <- 'arms'
---	|    ----
  |    / \     |
  |    |  |    |       <- 'legs'
  |    |  |    |
   ----   -----      <- 'feet'

There are also small 'hatches'/panels etc as detail on them. 
Michael has the mounting pin stuck between the legs, so they're all
standing upright, but you could mount them at angles etc if you wanted.
They look pretty good (i.e. my description doesn't do them justice).

Cheers

Beth
